Se/Seo

This is a title of nobility, analogous to earthly titles of Knight


Men are referred to as "Se"

Women are referred to as "Seo"

This can be taken a couple of different ways. Some monarchs would use it as just an honorific for their noble friends. Others would put thought and effort into choosing the right people to embody the noble calling. A knight wouldn't have to have a squire -- or could have multiple. Depending on what the king feels is important could matter, too. If raising young men is more valuable, then a knight might have several squires and pages that help them for fees. Regarding fees, the knight takes on a number of squires and receives a stipend from the crown for doing so. It's a form of indirect charity -- promising young men from humble backgrounds can be given a good start in life.


The ancient Miiltaan word 'blod-iabo" means "blood-vein," or, literally one who becomes like blood/family. That eventually became shortened to "odia," and was used to describe a young man who became the servant and student of a Se.
